Chapter 8 Dog-eat-dog
Liuying supported the old lady, and when she saw General Xie like this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
The general was always fighting wars everywhere, but he never treated these slaves badly.
Everyone in the capital knows that the General's Mansion pays the highest monthly salary and also offers extra rewards during festivals.
Such a kind and brave man was tortured beyond recognition.
Lu Wanyin sighed, squatted beside Xie Jingci, and used her index finger to feel his breath.
It's already very weak. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to make it through this.
However, he has been fighting for many years and his physical fitness is better than others.
The old lady squatted down with difficulty, tears falling down her face.
She cried out in tears: "Jingci... my grandson, how could this happen... how could this happen..."
Although Zhou hated Xie Jingci very much, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw him in such a miserable state.
He covered his mouth and took a few steps back.
Xie Jingci's eyelids were half closed, his expression was as desolate as the dead grass in the wilderness, his eyes were as still as dead water, staring at Lu Wanyin without blinking.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Although she knew she could cure him, Lu Wanyin still felt a little uncomfortable.
She put her ear close to Xie Jingci's mouth and could barely hear clearly.
What he said was, “I’m sorry.”
What are you sorry for?
It must be a shame that she had to face the punishment of exile just after marrying into the Xie family.
The smell of blood was so strong that Lu Wanyin suppressed the urge to retch.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's okay. Between you and me, there's no need to say sorry."
Xie Jingci slowly turned his eyes, staring at Lu Wanyin, and was silent for a while.
Lu Wanyin remembered this look for almost two lifetimes.
It was this look of attachment and reluctance that she dreamed of many times later.
When the people from the Xie family saw Xie Jingci's appearance, they immediately started discussing.
Xie Deyao pretended to step forward and take a look, then reached out to pinch Xie Jingci's arm.
Probably to confirm whether he still has martial arts skills.
Lu Wanyin grabbed Xie Deyao's arm and threw him out.
Xie Deyao was furious and pointed at Lu Wanyin's nose and cursed: "You bitch, you are not grateful for saving your life. How dare you touch me!"
Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, you said you were tired of your good life, why did you have to rebel?"
"That's right, you're courting death yourself. Why are you dragging the entire Xie family down with you? You're such a hopeless wretch!"
"Just like your short-lived mother."
These words were like a steel needle, piercing into Xie Jingci's heart and lungs, causing more pain than the wounds on his body.
The pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
Xie Jingci struggled to move, but it was of no use except for the rustling of the surrounding weeds.
Lu Wanyin glared at him, followed closely by the steel needle in her hand.
When Jiang from the second house said this, she felt her body tighten, and suddenly her legs went limp, and she fell straight down.
Xie Derui's arm was still broken, so he had no choice but to kick his son Xie Yuantai: "Why don't you help your mother up!"
Xie Yuantai was about to help her when he saw her suddenly twitching on the ground with blood constantly flowing out of her mouth.
Xie Derui was startled and shouted: "My wife, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Jiang was about to vomit blood and die, Xie Yuantai grabbed the cell door and shouted, "Prison officer, help me! My mother is dying! Come and save her!"
There was no other sound in the prison except the occasional croaking of rats.
The Xie family members were all on death row, and the prison guards were hoping that they would die in prison so that they could report to their superiors.
So who cares about these calls for help?
Xie Deyao looked at Jiang indifferently, and did not forget to remind her: "Move her away, the smell of blood is unbearable."
Jiang vomited for a while and suddenly stopped.
She kept muttering: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Seeing her babble, Xie Deyao was so annoyed that he kicked her and said, "Shut up!"
He usually looked down on the second wife the most, and even more so on his second brother's wife, who always acted in a mean manner.
I could bear it before, but now I can’t bear it for even a moment.
Jiang was kicked and rolled over twice, stopping in front of Lu Wanyin.
"mother!"
Xie Yuantai was about to rush over, but was stopped by his wife Qin.
Xie Derui was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw his wife being bullied and his son being indifferent.
Jiang quickly hugged Lu Wanyin's legs and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, all my mistakes are my fault."
Lu Wanyin twisted her legs and tapped her chin with her toes: "If you talk nonsense again in the future, it won't be just this simple."
Everyone was confused. They clearly didn't see what Lu Wanyin did to Jiang.
Jiang was just threatening to kill Lu Wanyin, but why did she suddenly beg for mercy?
Xie Deyao was so angry that he grabbed Jiang and dragged her away while cursing, "I think you are really looking for death. You dare to beg her."
Xie Yuantai finally broke free from Qin's shackles and snatched Jiang from Xie Deyao.
He couldn't beat Lu Wanyin, nor could he defeat Xie Deyao, and his eyes turned red with anger.
Lu Wanyin took back the silver needle, and Xie Yuantai supported Jiang and lay in the weeds, gasping for breath.
For a moment, everyone in the second house, from the oldest to the youngest, cried together.
Lu Wanyin touched Xie Jingci's forehead. The man had a very serious fever and needed immediate treatment.
But it was obvious that the Xie family did not intend to give up.
Xie Ziqian sneered, "He's such an ignorant person, he's even capable of such a thing as rebellion."
Xie Ziqian hadn't read much, but he had learned a lot of sarcasm from his mother.
"A toad wants to eat swan flesh, how arrogant! How can you get this kingdom just by thinking about it?"
Lu Wanyin frowned in displeasure, it was so noisy.
How can she heal Xie Jingci if this continues?
She secretly gathered her strength and shot out two silver needles.
Zhou's whole body stiffened and she couldn't move.
Xie Ziqian also fell headfirst onto the grass, rolling back and forth on the ground crying.
Xie Jingci was seriously injured, and Lu Wanyin didn't want to get involved, but these people were really difficult to deal with.
It seems they won't give up easily unless we make them suffer a little.
Lu Wanyin held the silver needle between her fingers and said to those ungrateful people from the Xie family: "If anyone else wants to try, come over and scold my husband."
After saying that, she glanced at Jiang and Xie Ziqian: "They are living examples."
Xie Deyao was stunned. He had never heard that this newly married daughter-in-law knew any martial arts.
Did she think she could scare them by threatening them with a silver needle?
Besides, she is just a woman, how could she be their opponent?
He cleared his throat and acted like an elder, lecturing: "After all, I am your father-in-law. How dare you, a junior, show off your power to an elder? Do you still have any respect for filial piety?"
The second son, Xie Ziheng, followed closely behind: "That's right, if you marry into our Xie family, won't the elders of the Xie family be able to say anything about you?"
Lu Wanyin smiled contemptuously: "Now you think of yourself as an elder and rely on my husband to show off and eat and drink for free, why don't you say that you are an elder?"
Xie Deyao was furious: "How dare you talk back!"
He said as he was about to take action.
